The Philadelphia Phillies agreed to trade second baseman Chase Utley to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday, according to CBS Sports. The deal, which would send two prospects to the Phillies, has not been finalized yet, but it could be a logical move for the Dodgers, as starting second baseman Howie Kendrick will miss at least two more weeks because of a hamstring injury. Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro said Tuesday that Utley was looking like he was fully recovered from his ankle injury after coming off the disabled list Aug. 7. "He's moving well," Amaro said. "His bat speed is very good. You can see his legs are underneath him. And it seems pretty clear that there was something going on in his ankle that was limiting him in some way, shape or form. He looks like he's pretty much a man on a mission." Utley is hitting .484 in 31 at-bats this month.
